So people are outraged at Khan vs Canelo

im not even a canelo fan

i can just never tell what ggg wants...does he want to unify? does he want big money fights?

looks like he might be shooting down a chance to do both in one night

 

Kirk, this fight is not ideal, but this mess is the WBCs not Canelo's.

We, including you, were anticipating a Cotto-Canelo showdown for a long time. Cotto ducked Canelo in the first attempt and I believe that is when he decided to go after Martinez at a catchweight.

Cotto came in to the Martinez fight from 154 with a 1-2 record.. Pretty pathetic for him to get a shot at the lineal title at MW in his first fight there when his Jr. MW record was extremely weak.

That is when evrything got even more screwy. Now we have an unproven Jr. MW in Cotto fighting the MW champion at a catchweight. Stupid ABC organizations.

To everyones surprise Cotto wins and in his next fights defends is WBC title at a catchweight yet again.

Finally the much anticipated Cotto-Canelo fight is agreed, at a catchweight, AGAIN, and Canelo beats him.

The WBC MW title is a complete joke.

So why are people so ****ed at Canelo? He did not create this mess. Canelo has been fighting top level opposition consistently, Cotto was just another scalp that WE ALL wanted to watch who happened to be a MW titlist and Canelo went after him, clearly not for the title as the fight was in very high demand, Belt or no Belt...

The reason I give Canelo a pass is because he has proven to not duck anyone, so himnot gunning for GGG right away is okay because if any fighter right now deserves the benefit of the doubt, its Canelo.

If anyone is to blame its the WBC for being so shady and not enforcing their rules, and Cotto for his starting the catchweights at MW.

The way I'll look at this fight its just a soft touch after fighting Mayweather, Lara, Trout, Angulo, Kirkland, and Cotto.

 

if cotto had fought ggg at 160 and ggg destroyed him like were all sure he would....these guys would be screaming about how great ggg and how he destroyed the hall of fame bound cotto...lol...thats the sad part here....you could take that to the bank too

 

The worse is we have many posters whose hate for some fighters is bigger than their love for the sport. There are people out there defending this nonsense because of their hatred towards Golovkin.

 

It's the same guys that were ****ting on Canelo before he even became a MW that are doing all the *****ing(also the new GGG groupies). Nothing to see here.

 

Remove the titles like you saidand you have one fighter moving up 8 lbs to fight another fighter.

If people are concerned about fight night weight, Khan has weighed in at 162 while Canelo is weighing in between 170-173. Again, that's only 8-11 pounds difference... I can show you countless examples of fighters outweighing their opponents by 10-15 pounds.. even nearly 20 like Cotto has before.

If people think things are not fair for GGG, I say, welcome to this terrible sport we love.

How many fighters get undeserved title shots? Including Cotto vs Martinez... Its the way it is. At least we have a fighter who fights anyone like Canelo as the Face of boxing.

 

honestly I kinda like this fight and I think canelo gonna lose to a welter for the second time :rofl

but it is disrespectful for boxing...title defenses even optional have to be against a top 10-15 opponent

 

Yeah, I like this fight too. I think that Khan has a great shot at beating Canelo, as long as he don't get foolish in the exchanges. I read where Khan was studying the Mayweather fight but I hope that he looks at the Lara fight also because that is the real blueprint for him. With Khan being a right hander and possessing the speed he has, I think that he will be able to punish Canelo a lot more than Lara did. I'm looking for a Khan win.

 

The only thing I am outraged at is it's PPV. Because there is no way in hell I am going to pay for a fight that I know won't go more than 4 rounds.

 

a solid and well put together argument, except for the bold part. you canelo die hards need to quit using that argument, it weakens your case.
